The story of Edgardo Mortara, a Jewish boy living in Bologna, who in 1858, after a secret baptism, was forcibly taken from his family to be raised as a Christian. Edgardo's distraught parents are doing everything to get their son back. With the support of public opinion and the international Jewish community, the struggle soon takes on a political character. But Dad does not agree to return the child. While Edgardo is growing up in the Catholic faith, the secular power of the church is weakening.
